Rainforest Adventure!

07-15-2017

The Engelstad Family Special Exhibitions Presents: Rainforest Adventure!

Swing like a Spider monkey, and discover a rodent that weighs over a hundred pounds and a beetle that can carry over 850 times its own weight! Visitors to Rainforest Adventure explore one of the least known habitats on earth in a fully interactive maze exhibit, chock full of the sights and sounds of a tropical rainforest.

The journey begins in the highest treetops surrounded by migratory birds and radiant sunlight. In an effort to reach the forest floor, guests answer questions about the rainforest. Incorrect answers lead to dead-ends while correct answers lead them deeper into the four layers of the rainforest: emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor.

This interactive experience empowers visitors to make a difference after they learn how essential rainforests are to human health and survival, and that by caring for the rainforest they are caring for the planet.
